About Me
I am a professional dancer, choreographer and teacher. My professional performance experience spans dance theatre, contemporary dance, opera, musical theatre, performance art and film. Currently I am interested in exploring improvisatory movement as a means to processing complex emotional experiences. I love to dance because it enables me to craft my own world and express the stories in my imagination.
I began dancing at King Slocombe School of Dance in Cambridge at the age of 4. At 16, I left home to train at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts where I studied ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap and commercial dance, graduating with a Trinity Level 6 Diploma in Professional Dance in 2018. Highlights from my time at Tring include performing at the Royal Albert Hall (Hertfordshire Schools Gala, 2016); winning BBC Songs of Praise School Choir of the Year with the Tring Park 16 (2016); competing in the finals of BBC Pitch Battle (2017); and achieving my French, history and music A-levels (2015-17). I went on to study a master's degree in contemporary dance alongside an apprenticeship with Tanzkompanie Theatre St Gallen in Switzerland, graduating from London Contemporary Dance School with distinction in 2020.
